"Simmons is always good but DROOD is a masterwork of narrative
suspense."--Entertainment Weekly "Stephen King "
"A dazzling journey through a crooked, gaslit labyrinth and a
tenebrous portraiture of the tortured minotaurs that dwell within.
Genius is the true mystery, and at its edge--the abyss."

Adult/High School-Toward the end of his life, Dickens and his mistress, Nelly Ternan, were in a terrible train crash. While they lived, many did not. Simmons spins a fantastical mystery from the episode, imagining what horror Dickens might have witnessed that night that haunted his last years and played into his final, unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
